I say to my colleague from Alabama--and, again, I thank him for his leadership on this issue, both past and present--what we are talking about here is something that is a part of the solution. This is not the totality. This is not the…

Do you employ outside consultants to develop and implement those systems to protect against cyber intrusion?

Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate now proceed to the consideration of S. Res. 174, submitted earlier today. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title. The assistant legislative clerk read…

Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its business today, it adjourn until 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, June 19, 2013; that following the prayer and pledge, the morning hour be deemed expired, the Journal of…

We will continue to work through the amendments to the immigration bill tomorrow. Senators will be notified when votes are scheduled. ____________________
